The Story So Far…

I ventured once upon a road, ‘Toward Eternity’ was it marked,

I must have paused at least one hour before the sign remarked;

“Bound thither are you noble one?”, it pointed far ahead,

I bowed myself, ears burning, my feelings it had read.

“I am Sir, if it pleaseth; please tell me if you will,

“Where leads this road ‘Eternity’, or does it just stand still?”

Now time had all run slowly, I’m sure it even stopped,

The temperature had risen, or maybe even dropped;

My mind had turned in anguish, my heartbeat ‘gun to race,

My feet were all in motion though I hadn’t moved one pace.

“Please tell me signpost if you can,” I’d sweat upon my brow,

“Where leads this road ‘Eternity’? Where is it I Am Now?”

“The experience of Eternity right here and now is the function of life.”

Joseph Campbell from The Power of Myth
